"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.

Scott, those were perfect frying fish except for the larger ones Bailey caught. I like to blacken trout 2.5 lbs and up. I'm actually a big redfish fan, like catching them (a lot more fun) and pretty good table fare too. Of course Bud calls redfish trash fish and refuses to eat them.

Old schoolers as a lot of folks know use to throw redfish back until Paul Prudhomme made his signature blackened redfish dish. Me, I like them cooked just about any way.

Trout has to be 15" min here to take. I don't eat much red fish either but it sure is fun going for those 40" monsters!

Before Katrina I used to fly fish for redfish. Talk about fun! I had one trip where I caught more than three limits. (caught not kept) one was about 20 lbs or so that I fought for 47 minutes. Had a big grin on my face for all 47 minutes! Let that one go, way too big for my liking, but what a fun catch it was!

shucks coona==, YOU DURN CAJUNS TAKE A COWPADDIE, SOM SHALLOTS, GARLIC, parsley,and lemon and have a feast (redfish). fun catching them scoolies when nothing else biting. if you could get yo squirrel patrole outa them joints you would be in trouble.
